A contribution to incumbent Councilman Bernard
Parks’ campaign has instigated a debate between the
two candidates vying for the city council’s 8th District
seat about whether or not the Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum should host raves.
Last week, the Los Angeles Times reported that
Parks had received a $500 campaign contribution
from Todd DeStefano. DeStefano is currently under
investigation by local and state authorities to see
if any laws were broken when he served on the
Coliseum’s Commission to oversee security, while
also being a paid promoter for Insomniac Inc., the
company that hosted the 2010 Electric Daisy Carnival
at the Coliseum.
A 15-year-old girl died of a drug overdose during
EDC at the Coliseum.
Forescee Hogan-Rowles, who is running against
Parks for the 8th District seat, asserts that Parks
should return DeStefano’s contribution.
“[Parks] should return the money,” Hogan-Rowles
said. “It is not in a gray area.”
Parks, however, maintains that DeStefano commit-ted
no crime and he will therefore not return his do-nation.
Hogan-Rowles not only disapproves of the donation
but said she is also a harsh critic of raves, insisting
City Council
candidates are
split over raves
Bernard Parks received a $500 donation from
an Insomniac Inc. employee, inciting criticism.
